News of an impending change in leadership at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with Paul Atkins set to succeed Gary Gensler as chairman, has rekindled optimism that long-running litigation against Ripple could come to an end by 2025.
The Trump administration’s pro-cryptocurrency stance was seen as a turning point, sparking hopes for a favorable solution.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed enthusiasm for working with the new SEC leadership, sparking speculation that the case could be dismissed or settled. Legal analyst Jeremy Hogan believes a potential resolution could come in April or May, though procedural requirements could extend the timeline. Still, many expect the litigation to end soon, bringing regulatory clarity to XRP.
Under the current government leadership, the SEC is expected to make a final effort before the leadership transition. As the deadline for submitting opening statements on January 15 approaches, the agency may try to influence the trajectory of the case. However, the incoming pro-cryptocurrency leadership is expected to create a more favorable environment for Ripple.
